all_o young_a man_n take_v together_o which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n see_v their_o young_a age_n be_v after_o their_o infancy_n and_o one_o may_v prove_v also_o that_o all_o child_n take_v together_o which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n see_v their_o infancy_n be_v after_o their_o birth_n and_o

have_v be_v if_o i_o say_v all_o these_o collection_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n since_o it_o comprise_v only_o the_o collection_n of_o child_n of_o young_a and_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v 5._o again_o either_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v dead_a in_o time_n past_a be_v take_v together_o have_v be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n or_o not_o if_o they_o have_v be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o follow_v that_o their_o death_n be_v eternal_a which_o be_v impossible_a see_v that_o which_o be_v eternal_a be_v not_o after_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a and_o without_o beginning_n but_o their_o death_n be_v after_o another_o viz._n their_o life_n see_v the_o death_n and_o life_n of_o the_o same_o man_n can_v be_v together_o but_o their_o death_n ought_v to_o be_v necessary_o after_o their_o life_n therefore_o their_o death_n be_v not_o eternal_a if_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v dead_a take_v together_o have_v not_o be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n without_o have_v any_o dead_a man_n which_o be_v deny_v by_o atheist_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o world_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n in_o the_o same_o state_n it_o be_v now_o and_o consequent_o with_o dead_a man_n and_o moreover_o either_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n without_o dead_a man_n during_o a_o finite_a time_n or_o during_o a_o infinite_a time_n if_o during_o a_o finite_a time_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o betwixt_o that_o which_o be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n to_o wit_n dead_a man_n and_o that_o which_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n viz._n the_o live_a man_n take_v together_o there_o be_v but_o a_o finite_a and_o limit_a time_n and_o that_o the_o finite_a time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o time_n since_o the_o which_o there_o have_v be_v dead_a man_n add_v to_o the_o finite_a time_n such_o as_o be_v the_o duration_n of_o live_a man_n only_o will_v make_v up_o a_o infinite_a time_n such_o as_o be_v the_o pretend_a eternity_n of_o man_n which_o be_v contradictory_n if_o during_o a_o infinite_a time_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o man_n will_v have_v be_v above_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o million_o of_o thousand_o of_o year_n without_o die_v which_o be_v ridiculous_a and_o deny_v by_o atheist_n themselves_o 6._o to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v this_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v beget_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o see_v nothing_o beget_v or_o produce_v itself_o but_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n pass_v take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v see_v that_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o atheist_n in_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a there_o be_v never_o a_o man_n not_o beget_v therefore_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n pass_v take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o from_o this_o argument_n i_o form_v another_o thus_o whatsoever_o be_v beget_v of_o another_o be_v after_o that_o other_o see_v that_o a_o man_n who_o beget_v another_o man_n do_v exist_v before_o he_o beget_v he_o but_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v therefore_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v after_o another_o from_o this_o last_o syllogism_n i_o will_v also_o form_v this_o that_o which_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n have_v not_o be_v after_o another_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a but_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v after_o another_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v therefore_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n 7._o last_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o very_a term_n of_o this_o distinction_n of_o oviedo_n will_v cause_v any_o rational_a man_n to_o reject_v it_o as_o ridiculous_a man_n say_v he_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o no_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n the_o collection_n of_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a be_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o a_o man_n in_o all_o this_o collection_n from_o all_o eternity_n the_o collection_n of_o day_n be_v without_o beginning_n but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o day_n in_o all_o this_o collection_n without_o beginning_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o king_n successor_n of_o william_n the_o conqueror_n have_v be_v ever_o since_o the_o year_n one_o thousand_o fourscore_o and_o seven_o but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o king_n in_o that_o year_n chap._n iii_o 1._o the_o second_o answer_n of_o atheist_n viz._n that_o as_o in_o the_o after-eternity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o future_a there_o will_v be_v no_o last_n or_o farthermost_a so_o in_o the_o fore-eternity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o time_n past_a there_o have_v be_v no_o first_o or_o foremost_a 2._o that_o atheist_n compare_v unlike_a thing_n and_o the_o disparity_n explain_v 3._o that_o reascend_v towards_o the_o time_n past_a one_o may_v run_v through_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o infinite_a 4._o that_o the_o succession_n of_o thing_n can_v be_v eternal_a and_o why_o 1._o before_o i_o proceed_v any_o far_a one_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o these_o unusual_a word_n the_o fore-eternity_n and_o the_o after-eternity_n one_o must_v conceive_v that_o this_o day_n be_v the_o tie_n that_o knit_v and_o join_v they_o both_o together_o so_o that_o the_o fore-eternity_n be_v a_o duration_n from_o this_o day_n reascend_v upward_o or_o through_o the_o time_n past_a even_o to_o the_o infinite_a and_o the_o after-eternity_n be_v a_o duration_n from_o this_o day_n towards_o the_o future_a even_o to_o the_o infinite_a this_o kind_n of_o riddle_n be_v now_o clear_a let_v we_o come_v to_o their_o answer_n as_o in_o the_o after-eternity_n say_v they_o the_o day_n shall_v eternal_o be_v after_o the_o night_n and_o the_o night_n after_o the_o day_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o late_a day_n nor_o a_o late_a night_n our_o hemisphere_n will_v be_v eternal_o lighten_v after_o that_o of_o our_o antipode_n and_o the_o hemisphere_n of_o our_o antipode_n after_o we_o so_o that_o there_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o late_a illumination_n the_o flow_v of_o t●●_n sea_n will_v be_v eternal_o after_o the_o ebb_a and_o the_o ebb_a after_o the_o flow_v so_o that_o there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o late_a flow_v or_o ebb_a the_o new_a moon_n will_v be_v eternal_o after_o the_o full_a moon_n and_o the_o full_a moon_n after_o the_o new_a moon_n without_o ever_o be_v a_o late_a new_a moon_n or_o a_o late_a full_a moon_n one_o part_n of_o time_n or_o motion_n will_v be_v eternal_o after_o the_o other_o without_o ever_o be_v a_o late_a part_n of_o time_n and_o motion_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o fore-eternity_n the_o day_n have_v be_v eternal_o before_o the_o night_n and_o the_o night_n before_o the_o day_n so_o that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o first_o day_n or_o a_o first_o night_n and_o consequent_o the_o day_n and_o the_o night_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n one_o before_o another_o as_o they_o will_v be_v eternal_o one_o after_o another_o likewise_o our_o hemisphere_n have_v be_v enlighten_v eternal_o before_o the_o hemisphere_n of_o our_o antipode_n and_o that_o of_o our_o antipode_n before_o we_o without_o ever_o have_v be_v a_o first_o illumination_n and_o consequent_o illumination_n be_v eternal_a successive_o and_o the_o two_o hemisphere_n have_v be_v enlighten_v from_o all_o eternity_n one_o before_o the_o other_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v enlighten_v eternal_o one_o after_o another_o so_o the_o new_a moon_n have_v be_v eternal_o before_o the_o full_a moon_n and_o the_o full_a moon_n be●●re_v the_o new_a moon_n without_o ever_o have_v be_v a_o first_o new_a or_o full_a moon_n and_o consequent_o the_o full_a and_o the_o new_a moon_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n one_o before_o the_o other_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v eternal_o one_o after_o another_o item_n the_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n
a_o general_a proposition_n of_o all_o thing_n create_v in_o these_o two_o word_n heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n he_o specify_v the_o creature_n as_o god_n create_v they_o every_o day_n against_o that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n be_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o day_n which_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o first_o evening_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o time_n god_n create_v the_o imperial_a heaven_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o mansion_n and_o dwelling_n place_v of_o god_n and_o the_o bless_a the_o earth_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o residence_n of_o man_n during_o this_o momentary_a life_n and_o the_o water_n which_o do_v then_o cover_v the_o whole_a face_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o chief_a reason_n of_o my_o assertion_n be_v these_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o five_o other_o be_v divide_v in_o evening_n and_o morning_n and_o that_o the_o evening_n be_v put_v before_o the_o morning_n for_o moses_n say_v and_o the_o evening_n and_o the_o morning_n be_v the_o first_o day_n and_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n ever_o begin_v their_o natural_a day_n with_o the_o evening_n from_o which_o consideration_n i_o frame_v these_o two_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o part_n be_v also_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a for_o example_n the_o finger_n which_o it_o part_v of_o the_o hand_n be_v also_o part_n of_o the_o arm_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o the_o evening_n be_v part_n of_o the_o day_n which_o be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n therefore_o the_o evening_n be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n and_o so_o when_o the_o evening_n be_v time_n be_v also_o or_o begin_v to_o be_v from_o this_o argument_n i_o frame_v another_o thus_o time_n never_o be_v without_o some_o corporal_a creature_n see_v that_o time_n be_v the_o duration_n of_o corporal_a thing_n or_o of_o their_o motion_n but_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n time_n be_v or_o begin_v to_o be_v for_o the_o evening_n be_v part_n of_o the_o natural_a day_n be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n therefore_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n there_o be_v some_o corporal_a creature_n now_o what_o other_o corporal_a creature_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n but_o the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o these_o two_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n wherefore_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o in_o these_o word_n in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n these_o two_o word_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v to_o be_v explain_v thus_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o time_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n second_o after_o that_o moses_n have_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n he_o add_v immediate_o and_o the_o earth_n be_v without_o form_n and_o void_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o earth_n that_o

now_o when_o be_v it_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v cover_v with_o water_n without_o appearance_n of_o earth_n without_o beauty_n and_o without_o ornament_n but_o only_o during_o the_o two_o first_o

in_o the_o two_o first_o verse_n allege_v for_o though_o the_o firmament_n which_o be_v create_v the_o second_o day_n be_v call_v heaven_n v._o 8._o yet_o it_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o

moreover_o though_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o three_o day_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o sea_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o their_o creation_n a_o evident_a proof_n that_o they_o have_v be_v create_v before_o and_o indeed_o moses_n describe_v the_o work_n of_o the_o second_o day_n speak_v in_o this_o manner_n and_o god_n say_v let_v there_o be_v a_o firmament_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o water_n and_o let_v divide_v the_o water_n from_o the_o water_n and_o god_n make_v the_o firmament_n and_o divide_v the_o water_n which_o be_v under_o the_o firmament_n from_o the_o water_n which_o be_v above_o the_o firmament_n now_o how_o will_v god_n have_v divide_v the_o water_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v before_o and_o how_o will_v he_o have_v create_v a_o firmament_n between_o the_o water_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o water_n be-before_a therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o in_o these_o two_o first_o verse_n and_o no_o where_o else_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o imperial_a heaven_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o water_n that_o god_n make_v before_o the_o light_n whereof_o

because_o there_o be_v yet_o no_o light_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n and_o god_n have_v not_o yet_o create_v that_o great_a body_n of_o light_n which_o he_o create_v afterward_o to_o wit_n in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o same_o first_o day_n and_o whereof_o probable_o in_o the_o four_o day_n he_o make_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n which_o may_v be_v very_o well_o think_v to_o

of_o light_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o darkness_n suppose_v some_o body_n susceptible_a of_o light_n which_o as_o well_o as_o darkness_n have_v be_v before_o the_o light_n but_o these_o body_n can_v
